Spanish prepositions
Hi all, Spanish prepositions seem pretty weird to me. They are completely different from the english grammar structure. Could someone explain to me how to use them? Gracias.

These are good links for learning about prepositions. And I agree with Mariana, they are weird in any language.

I hope these help! I tried to make descriptive link names so you will have less trouble sifting through to what you really want to know. ¡Buena Suerte! Good luck!
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Prepositions in any language are weird!
Why do we say "on the bus" but "in your car" and the´re not interchangeable?
Give us some examples that confuse you and maybe we can help explain them.
Weird in any language indeed. It often is a matter of perception, but people tend to have different views on the matter. Why does an apple in some languages hang in or on the tree, whereas the Romans saw it hanging out of the tree (ex arbore)? There is only one thing you can do about it, and that is to get used to the prepositions in foreign languages without relying too much on the prepositions you are familiar with in your own language.
